Inspiration Essay
By: Zach Johnson

My dad is the biggest inspiration in my life. I will explain to you why he is my biggest inspiration. I will tell you about the many things my dad has taught me. How he helped me always be happy. How he had me practice things I had ambitions for.

First, My Dad taught me how to do many new things. He taught me how to play basketball. He was also the coach of my basketball team. He taught me how to do division the easy way, which has helped me in the long run. When I was five he taught me how to throw a football. Then that experience inspired me to play tackle football in later years. He taught me these things with patience and it has helped me a lot.

Second, He has me practice things for sports and academics. He would play basketball with my team if we had a player missing at practice. He helped me with confusing homework from different classes. He always spends time with me even though he has a new baby. He makes me good at many things.

Last but not least, He helped me through tough times and always believes in me. He helped me through times when him and my mom would disagree about things. Which happened a lot at that point in time. He helped me feel better when I was sad or under the weather. He never stopped believing in me and always thought I could do better. Like when I’m writing a story or playing sports.

These reasons are why he is the biggest inspiration in my life. Not because of gifts or other things because of him. It is the many things he ahs taught me for when I get older. Always being happy and for me to always try my best at everything. Also how he helped me practice. I chose him because of these reasons.
